And save your own fake outrage.
Who's outraged? Seeing you dig up this old snooze news is actually pretty funny.

The allegations against Uncle Thomas are fresh as a daisy and concern an incident which occurred in 1999, eight years after Thomas was confirmed.

This issue was never settled in my mind. What was his motivation to make his moves? What was her motivation to make the accusation?
They would know there were risks, more for her as a young woman than him as an established male professional re believability.

It's never easy for a woman to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse. The overwhelming majority of them are never reported.

In light of this, I would have to conclude that Anita Hill was resigned to remaining silent until Thomas was nominated for the Supreme Court. When that happened, she must have felt that she needed to come forward in order to prevent the confirmation of a sexual predator for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. I expect it's much the same with respect to the women who are coming forward to accuse Trump.
